  1. Adam, good to see you are assessing your treasure trove again! 🙂 Some of those look like 600xl systems, right? Unless you moved again, I assume we are still in the same neck of the woods. I'll ping you separately. Take care, Eric.
  2. If it works, buy it! Especially if picture is good, on/off switch works and it has the front console door intact! 🙂
  3. Does anyone know if the 400mini supports USB adapters, such as the "2600-dapter" (http://www.2600-daptor.com/) to be able to use original Atari and Atari-compatible controllers?
  4. That's great to have in one place. Thanks Allan!
  5. Definitely not a waste of time, nor of "posting real estate" here. Eventually somebody else will have same problem and benefit from seeing this. 🙂
  6. I've said this many times and will still stand by it 100%. It has yet to fall me... Get a multimeter, and check continuity from each key contact on the flex mylar circuit to the edge that plugs into the connector. Anywhere there is a break/open you start to narrow it down, closer and closer until you pinpoint the exact open. Then use some copper trace paint (I just get mine from automobile rear-window defroster repair kits, permetex works great!) to bridge the gap. Sometimes there are many! I use a toothpick to paint the trace. Be patient and use the multimeter... pinpoint, paint it. And repeat. Until you have a full continuity reading on your multimeter for each mylar key contact. Plug it in, and you are good to go. I started using this method many years ago, intending it just to be temporary until I could get new mylar. But I've done this to at least 8 systems over many years, and NONE of them have ever failed again! Eric
  7. So good!!! "Dodge 'em", or "Dodger Cars" depending on which way you roll... Atari or Sears! Extremely addictive for trying to repeat and beat your own best.
  8. I noticed that the light gun doesn't have any decal/sticker on one side. Mine is like that too. I've always wondered if that's normal or whether it means the sticker came off one side?
  9. It's called GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) and it applies to way more than just retro computing. I don't know if I have more Atari 8bit systems or more guitars, but somehow I just know I still don't have enough of either!
  10. Looks sweet!!! Great job. Can't wait to play it!! 🙂🙂🙂
  11. Excellent! Love WAY out! It was WAY ahead of it's time for sure. Such a great game, and this will raise the stakes considerably!
